A woman in the building where I work brought me a container of stew to
try. The first question she asked me before offering it was "Do you
like okra?" I said "Eh, sometimes it can be slimy." She shook her head
and said "Not in this!" She handed me a container. She told me it's >slightly spicy and also contains shrimp, lima beans and tomatoes. I
heated it up. It smelled wonderful. Then I noticed meat in it. I
asked, "Is there pork in here?" Yep. So this is like a gumbo? She
laughed and said yep, it's a Gullah gumbo.
It was delicious! And she was right, the okra was not in the least bit >slimy. I didn't even notice it was there. I did have to fish out a bay >leaf and some pig tail bones about the size of a finger knuckle. That's
the pork she used. Meat from a pig tail. I suggested she remove the
bones after she cooked the stew to make it easier to eat. She laughed
and said, "You're not Southern. We suck the marrow out of those little >bones."
Yeah, I fished the bones out. It was a fantastic tasting shrimp & pork >stew/gumbo!

Oh, quit your blubbering Master. This isn't the first time her Majesty
has reported on the food served to her by southern negroes.
And yes, they are usually as black as the ace of spades. So what?

I've heard of stews like that, never had the opportunity to try one. I >think I'd want to get a little taste before ordering a big bowl for dinner.
